Horrific. What does it take for a wake up call for this city??!! Anyone seen or heard from our mayor recently?

More relevant is today’s news: “One stabbed during fight in Northwest Portland’s North Park Blocks; one detained” (KATU). Police are well aware of the open-air drug useand dealing “street degenerates” around the old Custom House, between Davis and Everett along the Park Blocks. I walked through there recently, and it reminded me of Los Angeles’s Skid Row in the 1980s. This incident is a much better fit for your comment: “Has anyone seen the mayor lately?”

I normally try to write well-thought-out comments, but I’ll jump into the speculative deep end: Why was someone from rural central Washington in Portland’s Old Town at 11:30 p.m. on a weeknight? It doesn’t sound entirely random.
